Create an AMI

Create an AMI to be used in an air-gapped cluster

Using the Konvoy Image Builder, you can build an AMI without requiring access to the internet by providing an additional --override flag.

1. Create the directories where you will place the air-gapped bundles:

   mkdir artifacts
   mkdir artifacts/images
   

2. Define an environment variable for the Kubernetes version that corresponds with Konvoy release you are installing. You can find the correct Kubernetes version by checking the release notes for the release you are installing.

   export VERSION=1.21.6
   

3. Download the OS packages bundle:

   curl --output artifacts/"$VERSION"_x86_64_rpms.tar.gz -O http://downloads.d2iq.com/konvoy/airgapped/os-packages_"$VERSION"_x86_64_rpms.tar.gz
   

4. Download the Kubernetes images bundle. This bundle includes the necessary images for kubeadm to bootstrap a Kubernetes Node.

   curl --output artifacts/images/"$VERSION"_images.tar.gz -O http://downloads.d2iq.com/konvoy/airgapped/kubernetes_image_bundle_v"$VERSION"_linux_amd64.tar.gz
   

5. Download the PIP packages. This bundle includes a few packages required by DKP to bootstrap machines.

   curl --output artifacts/pip-packages.tar.gz -O http://downloads.d2iq.com/konvoy/airgapped/pip-packages.tar.gz
   

6. Follow the instructions to build an AMI in the setting an additional --overrides overrides/offline.yaml flag.

Then, you can seed your docker registry.
